Chapter 242 The Alliance Breaks

Liuhe City, north of Liaodong City, is a pure military fortress, with no private houses or shops, only military camps and city archery towers.

In the night, Liuhe City was as bright as daylight, and countless bonfires illuminated the small city. With the lessons from the last new city, the entire Liuhe City was only stationed by the Goguryeo Alliance after conducting a carpet-style search.

However, Liuhe City is too small, and only the commanders of all ethnic groups and our personal guards are stationed in the city. In fact, all the soldiers and horses are camping around Liuhe City, while the slave auxiliary soldiers are on the outside.

Several huge tents were placed here in the open space in the square in the center of the city. Although the soldiers had already searched and inspected the whole city over and over again, none of the coalition commanders dared to live in those ready-made houses. For fear that one of them would be bad, they followed the footsteps of Yizhi Wude.

In the largest tent in the middle, the generals of the coalition forces gathered together, but Su Wotaro, the Japanese soldiers, did not appear.

Gao Jianwu sat in the upper left head of the tent, with one sleeve empty. I don’t know if the broken arm was injured or because he was frightened by Chen Pofu’s heavy cavalry at dusk today, but his heroic face was so pale.

"The 10,000 Japanese Allied troops lost 2,000 in one battle the day before yesterday, and 7,000 in one battle yesterday. Moreover, the commander of the Japanese Allied troops, General Su Wotaro, was also killed by heavy cavalry leaving the city at the south gate of Liaodong City!" Gao Jianwu said calmly.

Yizhi Wende said coldly, "It's not surprising that arrogant little guy, I'm not surprised that he died. His ten thousand soldiers who are not much stronger than slaves can even rob him every time they dare to attack. There are not many such people in the coalition, but not many of them. If they die, they will die. There is nothing to say. The prince should talk about the situation in other aspects!"

The commander of Wei Wei, Tie An, sneered, "This time the siege suffered heavy losses, we also suffered heavy losses. The 20,000 Baekje infantry of His Highness Fuyuzhang, the 20,000 Baekje infantry, today, the most 20,000 troops were attacked, but only 8,000 people were retreating. The 10,000 cavalry of the Hei Shui Mohe tribe, now only 5,000 people were left, and the 10,000 people in the Wei Wu tribe, our siege has 10,000 people, and now there are 8,000 people left. I wonder if the General of the Yizhi, do you think that the losses of our allies deserve it?"

The Allies of Goguryeo were able to come to Liaodong to participate in the war this time, because they were considering the loss of their lips and the cold teeth, and the other hand, they agreed to send troops after taking over Goguryeo's favorable conditions. However, although these people came, they did not expect to really work hard for Goguryeo. Today's first battle, the result was that Liaodong City could fall at any time, so they were tempted and dispatched their troops little by little with oil tactics. When the siege failed today, when they came back to count the troops, everyone was stunned and the losses were unprecedentedly heavy.

Ten thousand people in Japan were reduced to nine thousand, and even the main general died. Twenty thousand people in Baekje died to ten thousand, and the most losses were lost. At the last moment, when the Marines saw something was wrong, they took their men and horses to take their heads, which was considered to have recovered some losses, but that was the case. Ten thousand men were reduced to five thousand men. The Shiwei people were not much better. There were still eight thousand men left, which was the least losses.

However, the four families lost a total of 28,000 people. These were not those slaves from Goguryeo. These 28,000 people were basically elite soldiers of various tribes. In the past, even tribal wars, it was impossible for so many people to die at one time.

As soon as the troops were withdrawn, the four families gathered together. Especially Huang Ge of the Marine tribe. When the Sui army was heavily equipped with cavalry, he was close to him, but he was worried about losses and turned around and ran away. Once he came back, he was worried that the Goguryeo people would attack him, so in order to protect himself, he kept uniting the rest of the Wei and Baekje families. As for Japan, everyone has forgotten them now.

Yizhi Wende laughed a few times, "Generals, the result of today's battle is also expected by everyone. Each family has suffered losses. Not only you have losses, but I, Goguryeo, also suffered heavy losses. However, everyone, although the final defeat was defeated, the results we achieved were also brilliant."

Huang Ge laughed sinisterly, "What can Goguryeo lose? Those who lose are only tens of thousands of slaves. The ones we have lost are the most elite warriors in the clan. How can those slaves be compared?"

Both Yizhi Wende and Gao Jianwu wanted to strangle this shameless guy to death. Today's failure would be on his head. If there were three thousand Goguryeo cavalry left beside the coach's flag at that time, who would win and who would lose today would be an unknown number. Because of this guy's fear of death, the victory that was about to be won suddenly lost.

At this time, he had the face to sit here so shamelessly and provoke discord and say such sarcastic words.

Gao Jianwu showed Eji Wende with his eyes. It was not the time to settle accounts with the Martells. He had already seen that the loss today made Shi Wei and Baekje very dissatisfied. At present, Martells had become united with them. If they turned against each other at this time, the entire coalition was likely to collapse.

Although the Sui army was severely damaged today, Goguryeo also suffered heavy losses. At this time, he had to continue to maintain the alliance with them. He believed that as long as he defeated the Sui army and overcome the difficulties in front of him, he would have the opportunity to deal with these lowly guys in the future.

"Dear generals and the generals also said that the attack on the Sui army is our common goal. Although we paid the price today, the results we have gained are also gratifying. We saw it today, and we almost took the Liaodong City. Although we lost the final result, the Liao people suffered heavy casualties. As long as we wait for a day or two, it is easy to win the Liaodong City. At that time, the mountains of wealth accumulated in the Liaodong City will be divided equally!"

After appeased the commanders of the three families, Yizhi Wende discussed with everyone about the next attack. However, at this time, the commanders of the three families came to an agreement and unanimously stated that the casualties were heavy today and the morale of the army had been lost. They had to rest for a few days before they could fight again. Finally, after the three families asked Yizhi Wende for food and grass, they simply returned to their camp without looking back.

Half a day later, a personal soldier from Yizhi Wende walked in, "Master, Prince, Tie Da'an of the Wei family and Fu Yuzhang of Baekje left the Zhizhuan account, all went to the camp of Huangge of the Marine. After they discussed secretly for a long time, they suddenly took their own guards out of the city and returned to their respective camps outside the city."

"Hmph!" Yizhi Wende flew up and kicked a weapon in the tent down! "A group of damn miscellaneous people, just these people, dare to do this in front of me now!"

"Why should the Grand Marshal be so angry?" Gao Jianwu laughed a few times, "Actually, we decided with His Majesty that the alliance with the tribes of Liaodong and Liaoxi were not really for them to help us attack the city. With this result, we are actually happy, aren't we?"

Goguryeo made allies and led the five-sect coalition forces to the north to attack the Sui army. On the surface, it was to attract more troops and horses to deal with the Sui army. But in fact, the real reason was not this. Since ancient times, fighting had to rely on its own troops, and others were unreliable. Everyone knows this. Goguryeo was determined to bring all ethnic groups into the battlefield. The ultimate reason was that after the whole country sent troops north, other ethnic groups would take the opportunity to attack them.

As long as an alliance is formed, no matter how many troops the countries send, even if they send troops or not to fight, this will achieve the goal of the Goguryeo people. Although Goguryeo invited all ethnic groups to send troops this time and gave a great representative, 50,000 people came at one time, which was also beyond the expectations of the Goguryeo people.

In today's battle, the 28,000 troops of four clans were lost, which made Gao Jianwu laugh so much. Just like Tie Daan said, such losses were a heavy loss to all tribes. The losses of all tribes made Gao Jianwu feel more at ease. Moreover, their losses were not vain. The losses of the 28,000 troops of the four tribes also resulted in a large number of casualties from the Sui army in Liaodong City.

Yizhi Wende nodded, "Forget it, let them go, anyway, their role has been played out extraordinaryly. They think that the general will not know, but they just want to find excuses to stop participating in the war. Today, the Sui army suffered heavy casualties. Next, we are Goguryeo, who can also win the Liaodong City."

With a sigh, Gao Jianwu said with a heavy face, "The four tribes including Shi Wei lost 28,000 warriors today, and our Goguryeo also suffered heavy losses. According to the statistics reported below, our 150,000 troops and 20,000 front troops have long been gone. In today's battle, we lost more than 50,000 people."

"What?" Yizhi was shocked, "Your Majesty, you said we lost 50,000 people? Isn't it possible?"

Gao Jianwu said helplessly, "I'm right. In addition to the 30,000 elite troops in the Western Route Army, the remaining 100,000 central troops, only 60,000 of which are elite troops, and the other 40,000 are newly trained shortly. Today's siege, the combat effectiveness of the Sui army exceeded our expectations. You have also seen that the various crossbows, catapults, and thunder on the Sui army's city caused us huge casualties. According to my calculations, there were tens of thousands of people who died under those thunder."

"Then are we only 80,000 people left now?" This number shocked Eji Wende very much. In the battle, only 80,000 people were left.

Gao Jianwu sighed and said, "The blessing in disastrous is that most of the 50,000 people lost today are recruits, so although the remaining 80,000 people are still not much lost. We still have more than 200,000 civilians and slaves, and we can pick some people to supplement the number of soldiers and raise up to 100,000. There are 100,000 people enough. Today, the siege of the city is so fierce, and the number of casualties of the Sui army may not be smaller than that of us. Our coalition forces suffered 80,000 soldiers and nearly 100,000 civilians and slaves. Even if the number of casualties of the Sui army is only half of ours, they will not last long."
